GrayRobinson president and managing director Mayanne Downs will step down from the top spot at the firm at the end of the firm’s fiscal year, on Aug. 31. Executive Vice President and former Florida House speaker Dean Cannon will take over, becoming the fourth leader of the nearly 300-attorney law firm and lobbying powerhouse.
Downs said she is stepping away from the leadership position to concentrate on her litigation practice, which focuses on high-profile, high-exposure cases.
